Are you a homeschooler? Do you come to school in you PJ’s? Does your P.E. class consist of you chasing around your siblings? Do you have to move all of the dirty laundry from your desk before you start your studies for the day? Well, life’s not quite that simple when you’re a homeschooler. Funny, how everyone thinks homeschoolers have it easy. Au contraire, they do not since their whole life is organized within the boundaries of their lawn fence! By whole life I don’t literally mean whole life. I mean life that other kids generally have at school (i.e. social life, study life, etc.). Homeschoolers manage living and studying and doing it all right in their homes.

With the use of internet and social media (Hah! This is a privilege “non-homies” certainly don’t have at school), homeschoolers or homeschooling parents can use homeschool hashtags to follow Twitter accounts that contain a lot of useful information. Hashtags work on Facebook and Google Plus as well. The pound sign (or hash) turns any word or group of words that directly follow it into a searchable link. This allows you to track topics based on those keywords. Check out these homeschool hashtags to get connected with discussion groups, resources, advice, and more.
